Glory in the Flower

In every petal, a universe unfolds,
A silent story,
Bold,
Not in words, but colors told.

There, glory rests,
Not in the grandest,
But in the quiet nest
Of nature's smallest quest.

A bloom, a fleeting hour,
Yet, in its briefness, power.
A whisper of life’s tower,
Rooted deep, not sour.

A reflection in the mirror of time,
Of all that’s pure,
Sublime.
A silent rhyme
Of life’s climb.
